Skyhawk aluminum cases

I have been looking for a nice aluminum case but the prices i find are through the roof. I have found a reasonably priced Skyhawk PSR4692. It is not listed on newegg so I have some questions about it. Does anyone have this case and what is it like? Thanks!
 
Haha, I picked up one of those cases from dumpinggoods.com. I do not recommend it unless you get it for really cheap (like I did) and you don't run hot components (say, for an older machine or slower CPU). The problem is that it doesn't have good fan spots. The rear of the case can handle a proprietary fan "duct" for an 80mm fan, plus a 60mm fan. Noisy and doesn't put out too much air.

What's your budget? Here's a few decent aluminum choices that won't break the bank but probably cost more than the Skyhawk, but with much better ventilation.

Chenming no PS, side window, $52 + shipping

Aspire X-sonic, same chassis a... power, $57 + shipping

Pro Source Iceberg, side windo... power, $61 + shipping

I have one of those Chenming/Aspire cases. The original Antec LAN Boy used the same chassis as well. In fact, I reviewed mine here.
